Lion Halloween Makeup Tutorial =^.^=

5:58 PM

Hey guys! Today I have the first of a few Halloween looks that I have planned for this year, and is one of my absolute favorites. This look is the brave LION! Rawr!

I really wanted to do another cat look after the warm reception my Puss In Boots Halloween look received last year. I got so many requests for a tutorial but I hadn't recorded one at the time so this one is a close cousin. I know a lot of girls do the whole black cat look with just a black nose drawn on but I like to think this is a step up from that. ^_~

A close-up. I'm happy with the gradient look that came out of the eyeshadow blending.

This was my attempt at a cat-like squinty-eye. I don't think I actually look very frightening though. lol.

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur...

...happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr!

(Nope, still not scary. XD)

So a little tip for you petite ladies out there, Leg Avenue makes really tiny costumes! A couple years ago I bought a Snow White Leg Avenue costume which you can see in this post which also fit quite well so I definitely recommend it. I wear size XS and this lion costume fits really petite in particular. I flipped the armwarmers around so the furry parts are at the hands because I thought it was cuter that way. :D

Here's the stock image for this costume for comparison. I actually like the color and fur of mine better.

Hubby caught me making faces on the floor. ;p

I hope you enjoyed this one! =^.^=

If any of you are going to try out this look pleeeease send me pics or post them in my facebook fan page! I am crossing my fingers that I will see lots of little spawn kitties this Halloween. Hehe.

Let me know what you are planning to be for Halloween in the comments! Time for me to go watch Life on Animal Planet and see hubby freak out about cute baby octopi.

U're so adorable! I feel like patting ur head but pinching ur cheeks, esp for the last pic! Keep up the good work. Too bad we don't celebrate Halloween here, else it will be something for me to look forward to.

AHLAV IT! Super Great Job Jen! :) I wish halloween is that big event also in our country where we can dress up, not just the kids. Really-really love your costume and your make up. Amazing job! *high five* ^_^

Your costume is so cute!! I love your makeup.I want to be a nurse for Halloween but I don't know how to do my makeup. I guess since 'nurse' isn't really a costume so there aren't any makeup tutorials on it :P Could you give me some ideas?

I love it! You look adorable and the costume is perfect too! If I actually had somewhere fun to go to on Halloween I would definitely try this... will be mentally filing it away in under fab resources! :)

YOU ARE SO PRETTY! and cute :) i just tried out a new nail polish and i wanted to let you know :) it's the Revlon Matte Suede collection ! they have 4 colours, and they're so pretty :) try it out, Jen!

OMG that is so cuuute! And I think Leg Avenue's costumes vary from one costume to another depending on the style. If it's a body hugging sort of costume it tends to run smaller because I fitted into my lady bug costume from a few years ago perfectly, but when I tried on one of the pirate costumes it was too big, especially in the bust area. ;x

Hey Jen,I saw your eyelid tape video and was wondering if you've ever used an double eyelid clipper like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Japan-Double-Eyelid-Clipper-eye-Clip-No-Tape-No-Glue-/140463164138 because it looks quite interesting. If yes it'd be great if you could do a review on them.

just kidding i never would have thought you'd be a big bang theory watcher!! hahaha i love THAT SHOW! This just makes you that much more awesome (you were awesome before but now you are waaay more awesome)

So cute!! Too bad I came across this after halloween :( Although there's always next year :) And your hair looks magnificent!! I always wanted big curls like that, but don't know how... do you have a tutorial for that too? ><

So, this tutorial was actually a lifesaver for me cause I decided on that same lion costume for this year's halloween, and when I searched for makeup how to's everyone did a harsher version, with much more detailing. Yours was incredibly simple and easy and sexy. I absolutely loved it. Only thing I did different was that I painted my whole nose black. I'm including the direct link for a pic of my halloween night. Thank you so much :)

Hello! I really like this costume and the make up. I was wondering if you can offer other options about the shoes? I love high heels, but personally I prefer something like flats or maybe 1inch. Do you know the type of shoes that will pull this outfit? Thanks!

HEllo! I really like the costume and the make up. I saw your the heels you wore, and I was wondering if you can list some other option besides heels for this outfit? Personally I love heels but I prefer flats or 1inch.
